Unvaccinated banned from Metro Manila flights

Starting January 17, unvaccinated travelers are banned from boarding flights to and from Metro Manila.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) reiterated on Tuesday that airlines will only accept fully vaccinated passengers who have received their full dosage at least two weeks prior to travel.

Partially vaccinated individuals are not accepted by airlines except in cases where they fit into exemptions set by the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

The rule applies to all individuals entering CAAP-operated facilities and domestic passengers traveling to and from NCR via any domestic or foreign air operator, and will be in effect until NCR is under Alert Level 3 or higher.
